Schedule Your In Person Training with Live-Fire

The state of Rhode Island requires applicants to obtain a minimum score from 75ft out of 30 rounds on a live range in the presence of an NRA instructor. During the 4 hour classroom portion, our instructor will walk you through some state laws and the application process. This class also will qualify you to apply for a Florida Non-resident concealed carry permit.

Call us at (401) 396-2091 to schedule your training with a Concealed Coalition state approved trainer. You must be able to demonstrate that you can safely and proficiently handle a handgun and ammunition.

If you reserved a second seat you must call us at (401) 396-2091 to schedule and reserve their seat. Same class reservations are required.
